Calculation of the Hinge Moments of a Folding Wing Aircraft during the Flight-Folding Process by Hao Xu, Jinglong Han, Haiwei Yun, Xiaomao Chen

“…Most previous studies on this problem have adopted steady-state or quasi-steady-state methods, which do not simulate the free-flying morphing process. In this study, we construct an aeroelastic flight simulation platform based on the secondary development of ADAMS software to simulate the flight-folding process of a folding wing aircraft. …”

Transcription factor DREF regulates expression of the microRNA gene <i>bantam in Drosophila melanogaster</i> by M. B.  Schwartz, M. M. Prudnikova, O. V. Andreenkov, E. I. Volkova, I. F. Zhimulev, O. V. Antonenko, S.  A. Demakov

“…Using transgenic lines containing a fulllength bantam lethality-rescuing deletion fragment and a fragment with a disrupted DREF binding site, we show that these motifs are functionally significant because their disruption at the bantam locus reduces expression levels in the larvae and ovaries of homozygous flies, which correlates with reduced vitality and fertility. …”
